This description might seem somewhat inappropriate, but it is very much real.
The All Gods' powerful beings blocked those who came after, and similarly, the many True Immortals also obstructed their path.
The latter sought power, more resources, and Longevity.
They too desired to be Immortal and Indestructible, and to ascend to the pinnacle.
The newcomers needed to grow stronger, which required struggle, just as those who wished to be stronger, to gain more resources, to go further, also needed to struggle.
The newcomers' strength wasn't enough to challenge them, and their current strength wasn't enough to challenge the many True Immortals.
Facing the obstruction of Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing and many True Immortals was like facing a formidable barrier in their way.
Just like those coming after, they also lacked the strength to challenge the many True Immortals, unable to break their shackles.
Therefore, venturing into new worlds to seek Fortuitous Opportunities and become more powerful was undoubtedly a new option for them. Though fraught with risk, it offered chances, and was certainly much better than blindly challenging those established True Immortals and Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing.
“What are the reactions from all sides now?” Emperor of Heaven Zhu Houji caressed the hilt of his sword with one hand and spoke without raising his head.
In the vast palace, besides himself, there were only his once close Eunuch Huang Jin, and the Brocade Guards Commander Lu Bing.
As the saying goes, when one man attains the Tao, his chicken and dogs ascend to heaven. Since the former Lord of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, Zhu Houji had become the Heavenly Court Master, the Emperor of Heaven, his most trusted confidants, Huang Jin and Lu Bing, also ascended and were bestowed Divine Positions, wielding considerable authority.
“In response to the Emperor Monarch, at the moment, all parties are restlessly waiting, as if anticipating something,” Lu Bing answered Emperor of Heaven Zhu Houji with great respect.
Brocade Guards serve as the emperor's personal troops, representing imperial authority and were the hands through which Zhu Houji, during his time in the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, apart from managing the Golden Book and Jade Scroll, also controlled the Court.
However, with the establishment of the Heavenly Court and the structure of the Six Imperials, it was inevitable that the Brocade Guards would be relegated to the ranks of celestial soldiers. Though they still retained their independent military status, they no longer possessed their former glory and overwhelming authority.
Many times, imperial authority and the power of the Brocade Guards complement each other. If the Brocade Guards could exert their influence and intimidate the Court, then the Emperor's authority would naturally be strengthened.
Conversely, if the Emperor's authority was challenged, it also meant the decline of the Brocade Guards' power, the emperor's personal troops, losing their previous deterrence.
Now that Heavenly Court was established, while it is indeed countless times stronger than the former Great Ming Divine Dynasty, the division of the Six Imperials also greatly limited the existence of imperial authority, leaving Emperor Zhu Houji unable to completely seize control of the Heavenly Court's power.
As a consequence, the Brocade Guards, his own personal troops, are now much like the former East and West Factories–only capable of collecting information, far from their past deterrence.
“No matter, since they are in no hurry, let's continue to wait, someone is bound to lose patience.” Emperor Zhu Houji's expression was calm, revealing neither happiness nor anger.
The existence of the Six Imperials greatly restricted his authority. Only when he truly sat in this position did he understand that the scenarios he had previously imagined were vastly different from what he was actually experiencing.
Before the process of Enthroning Gods, Master Pei talked about the division of the Six Imperials, and he knew then that the existence of the other Imperial Honors was to sideline him, preventing him from truly ruling the Heavenly Court and becoming the real Emperor of Heaven.
But at that time, being the Lord of the Divine Dynasty and under pressure from those True Immortals and the immortal sects, he believed that even the worst situation could not be worse than before. He was confident that he had enough strength to nibble away and reclaim his power.
At least the former him had not yet truly stepped onto the Immortal Path, fundamentally unequal to those True Immortals. He couldn't even contend with their strength, rendering any tactic or scheme ineffectual.
But now, having ascended the throne of the Emperor of Heaven, not only had he become a True Immortal by the Immortal Path but also simultaneously became a True Immortal through the Earth Immortal Path, embodying both paths. Even though he was still far from Master Pei, he was not at all intimidated by those established True Immortals.
Within this Heavenly Court, as the Master of the Heavenly Court, even if only nominally, being a True Immortal of both paths, he was definitely not inferior to any other established True Immortal.
However, he discovered that everything was far more complicated than he had imagined. Although he had the necessary power, he was still unable to find a way to break the current deadlock in the face of the situation.
Moreover, it wasn't just the other members of the Six Imperials who intended to limit his role as Heavenly Court Master. Even the former ministers of the Divine Dynasty seemed to be harboring some new ideas.
No one wants to easily relinquish the authority in their hands. This holds true for everyone.
Even Emperor Wuzong, in the former Great Ming Empire, never fully controlled it, facing significant checks and balances. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so straightforward for the combined forces of the Fengdu Ghost Emperor, Zhao Baiyang, and Xue Wuheng of the Sky Demon Sect to enter Tiandu and assassinate Emperor Wuzong.
Thinking back, their successful assassination of Emperor Wuzong was definitely not just because of Yang Tinghe's involvement but also due to the tacit approval of other Council Elders.
Because Emperor Wuzong, who created the Martial Academy and compiled the Martial Classics, not only touched the interests of the martial arts world but also threatened the interests of those Council Elders when he sought to bring military power under his control.
